Mumei Didn't Expect a GIGACHAD Level Answer From This Guy

Mumei asked a question to this Eric Liu guy, and he answered her with Aristoteles level of intellect using red superchats.

Mumei: *Wants to know how she is made*
Eric Liu: *Gives answer*
Mumei after getting the answer: *Having existential crisis*

[BudFriesel]

I wonder what's more impressive. The answer itself. Or that the guy felt like it had to cost $200 to say it.

[theallseeingscribe]

So in short - Chat's love for Mumei is 50% herself, and 50% fantasy created by chat (because they dont know her irl as a person, so they fill in the blanks, and part of her is therefore a fantasy)

Mumei loves her chat, but does not know them as individuals or personally, therefore the chat she interacts with is 50% what she sees on the screen, and 50% fabricated fantasy

"Obi Wan never told you what happened to your Father"
"He told me enough, he told me you killed him!"
"No... I am, a functionary of the audience's fantasy, just the same as you Luke, we are both fictional characters in a soon-to-be titanic intellectual property. Doomed to be written by multiple authors, and bowed to the pressure of the fans, our very minds are not our own! While it is true that a few years ago I was not your father, and did kill him due to rewrites I, am your father!"
"That's not true! That's impossible!"

[KhanhNguyen-dgrl]

Mumei: "I want the truth"
Eric Liu: "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"

[Firestar]

Mumei: "Whoes my father?"
Liu: "To discuss this we need to talk about, *SYMBOLISM* and *MEANINGS."*
Mumei: ". . . i wish to retract my previous question . . ."

[snowboundwhale]

"You live rent free in our head, and we live rent free in yours" is the gist of what I'm getting from that

[emmanonn]

So basically
Chat and Moom are born of a parasocial relationship

[Skurai_X]

man is writing his thesis on vtubers, much respect

[Michael]

Mumei is a real gamer. She wasn't looking for a straight or complicated answer. Just a new game to play.

[noobie]

She expects Eric Liu to give an answer. But she didn't expect that answer

[EpicNerdsWithCameras]

Mumei: "Please send a long paragraph with your answer"
Eric Liu: *Does exactly that, but in the form of a double akasupa*
Mumei: "I did not anticipate this."

[Spoopball]

This guy writes wikis to time travel movies on the side, and draws diagrams.
His logic was undeniable

[DaShikuXI]

Man, I've been thinking about this concept for like an hour. Of two theoretical entities that can only manifest while they interact with each other. You could write some good stuff with this.

[philtkaswahl]

Mumei just wanted to know who the father was because chat was the mother?

TeaMate: "We already know." [steps out with arms wide open and waits to receive the groundpound to end all groundpounds that suddenly, ominously blotted out the sun]

[edwinorellana]

Mumei expected a catdog ending journey in search of parents but got the existential horror ending of End of Evangelion

[brayzaroo]

It’s a symbiotic relationship built on admiration, effort, and fantasy

[zuntata]

that's actually very good wise answer

there's nothing a chats and fandoms wanted more than having fun with the streamers

[XiaoMingXing]

To put it in laymen's terms, mumei exists not only because chat exists and supports her existence, but chat also helps form what kind of mumei they want to see through their expectations. Then, through this, chat exists because the streamer is streaming, and when a streamer streams, there will naturally be a chat.

Mumei, the Idea vs Mumei, the Owl

Everyone knows that Mumei is cool as fuck. But who knows what she's thinking? Who knows why she crushes Friend? And why do we think about her as fondly as the mythical (nonexistent?) Mr. Muman? Perchance.

I believe it was Kant who said "Experience without berries is blind, but berries without experience is mere intellectual play." Mumei exhibits experience by crushing sentient paper bags all day, but exhibits berries by saying "Oh hi!" Keep it up, baby!

When Moomers leaves her place of safety to stomp a baggy, she knows that she may Die. And yet, for an owl that purchases lives with berries, a life becomes a mere store of value. A senpai tax that can be paid for, much as a rich owl feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Mumei as a council member, but she is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The hoomankind. Perchance.
